Minneapolis protests and political clashes over ICE actions

Minneapolis has seen significant protests and political clashes over the actions of ICE, the federal immigration agency. The protests were sparked by incidents involving the agency in the city, with demonstrators comparing ICE tactics to those of the Gestapo, a comparison a Border Patrol commander called unacceptable.

President Trump shifted his administration's anti-immigration tactics amid the controversy, while renewing attacks on the city's Democratic mayor. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who represents part of Minneapolis, was sprayed with a liquid during a speech there. The situation has drawn commentary from figures like Bruce Springsteen, who released a protest song, and the CEO of Hootsuite, who defended his company's contract with ICE.
